   • passwords should be suitable complex - strong
   • Complexity is increased by;
     • Greater password lengths
     • combination of upper and lower- case characters, number, punctuation & other symbols
   • Passwords should NOT use words in the dictionary, familiar names - family or pets - or be easy to crack
   • Using initial letters from a memorable phrase

2. Protection of passwords

   • default passwords should be quickly changed as they are often commonly used and vulnerable
   • passwords should be regularly changed, for example, every three months
   • passwords should never be written down
   • passwords should never be shared with anyone.
   • users should be aware of phishing schemes - where users are asked to confirm sensitive information, simply to steal information
